Miami Uber Doctor

DrK has had co-residents in his program leave to deal with personal mental health issues. Once, he responded to a code on his co-resident who was having a seizure on the ward. She was anorexic and bulimic. There have been others too. It might be more frequent in psychiatry residencies. Psych is one area where doctors are expected to have had some treatment/psychoanalysis themselves. In fact, to be an analyst, you have to have completed analysis yourself and many psych residency programs require their residents to see a psychiatrist regularly just because their work can be so disturbing.

Wow that's nuts....
Residency is so miserable I agree it would be good if all residencies offered /required therapy of some sort.

I think MOST institutions do have a mental health professional that is available to residents. But, programs aren't good advertising it. Also, I know that the one at my dude's institution works 8-5. Which is obviously super convenient for residents, especially those in a surgical speciality. 🙄

I would bet this is just the tip of the iceberg. They probably already have a large file on her!
